He has been an EU risk and science communications specialist since 2000, active in EU policy events from REACH and SCALE to the Pesticides Directive, from Science in Society questions to the use of the Precautionary Principle. He was part of the team that set up GreenFacts to encourage a wider use of evidence-based decision-making in the EU on environmental health matters. Dr. Zaruk is a professor at Odisee University College where he lectures on Communications, Marketing, EU Lobbying and PR. In this episode, we start off by talking about the tactics that bad environmental activists use, how they oversimplify complex problems, and their anti-capitalism ideology. After referring to the importance of experts consulting environmental and health policy, we talk about the antiscientific approach that has been dominating the European Union, when it comes to agriculture, energy and the environment. We then move on to the SlimeGate series that Dr. Zaruk has been releasing, and an exposé of how tort law firms, scientists, NGOs, activists and politicians get together to promote pseudoscience and get easy money. Toward the end, we speak about the important difference between hazard and risk, and how fearmongers exploit people’s ignorance about that topic, and also about how the incidence of cancer has been declining over time.

He also recently published a book, “The Social Leap: The New Evolutionary Science of Who We Are, Where We Come From, and What Makes Us Happy” (2018). In this episode, we go through the main topics of Dr. von Hippel’s book, The Social Leap. We compare humans with other animals. We talk about the movement from the rainforest to the savannah; the evolution of bipedality and our hands; meat, cooking, and diet; hunting, cooperative breeding, and the social brain hypothesis; alloparenting, pair-bonding and monogamy. We also refer to Christopher Ryan’s book, Sex at Dawn, and the points where his thesis fails. We then go through the importance of language and culture, and gene-culture coevolution. We also talk about tribalism, the advent of agriculture, and hierarchy and economic, social and sexual inequality, and the problem with polygamic societies. Also, the mismatch between the ancestral environments we adapted to and the modern ones, and what our innate psychology tells us about what makes us happy, even in modern industrialized societies. We finish off by talking about a recently paper authored by Dr. von Hippel and Dr. David Buss, “Psychological barriers to evolutionary psychology: Ideological bias and coalitional adaptations”.  Time Links: 00:56 Humans and the Great Apes 03:44 From the rainforest to the savannah                04:50 The evolution of our bipedality, and the stone-throwing hypothesis          09:51 The importance of our hands      12:35 Meat and diet 16:28 Fire and cooking  17:47 The social brain hypothesis      20:32 Large brains, prolonged development, and cooperative breeding   22:53 Alloparenting and monogamy 28:08 Christopher Ryan, Sex at Dawn, jealousy, polygamy and monogamy  32:40 Language and learning 35:41 Culture, and gene-culture coevolution 39:07 Tribalism and coalitional psychology   42:50 Agriculture and inequality 49:54 The mismatch between ancestral and modern environments 52:05 What makes people happy 56:40 Psychological barriers to Evolutionary Psychology 1:02:41 Follow Dr. von Hippel’s work! -- Follow Dr. von Hippel’s work: Faculty page: https://tinyurl.com/yadugvvu Website: https://williamvonhippel.com/ Psychology Today blog: https://tinyurl.com/yb7487az Articles on Researchgate: https://tinyurl.com/ycrabthn Joe Rogan Experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dtv8ibI1vk The Social Leap: https://tinyurl.com/yct2nljn Other relevant links: Sex at Dawn: https://tinyurl.com/y7rca225 Sex at Dusk: https:/

His research focuses largely on the philosophy of science and applied ethics, as well as the intersection between those domains. On the philosophy of science side, he investigates questions of causation and explanation in biology; while on the applied ethics side, he explores how the answers to those questions have ethical, legal, and social implications. He’s also the author of the book Beyond Versus: The Struggle to Understand the Interaction of Nature and Nurture. In this episode, we focus on some of the main topics of Dr. Tabery’s book, Beyond Versus. We go through the historical origins of the nature-nurture debate, and the early stages of Biology, and the influences of genetics and the study of development. Then, we address the complexity of the interaction between genes and the environment, and how they mediate each other’s effects on the organism. And we finish up with a couple of questions about the ethical implications of this science, including the dangers of focusing too much on nature, or believing in extreme environmentalism and views of the mind as a blank slate, and also the technical and ethical limitations to gene editing, human enhancement and eugenics.

Moshe Hoffman, MIT Research Scientist, discusses game theory and evolutionary psychology. They explore behavior studies, critiquing Evolutionary Psychology, focusing on aesthetics, religion, and social norms. Game theory in social interactions and strategies is highlighted. Evolution of cooperation, norm enforcement, and the interplay between evolutionary and cultural contexts are also discussed.
